  |
|
| As expected the Lightning are shopping Jussi Jokinen, Michel Ouelete, and Jason Ward to get under the salary cap which their off-season moves sees them about 3 million over the cap.Jokinen would be an excellent addition for a team like Vancoucer, Minnesota, or even the Oilers.Look for teams in the east like Ottawa,Boston, and the Islanders to make a pitch as well.

I think Oilers will make a run at Jokinen. Sanderson hasn't been offered a contract yet and they need help at LW (Penner, Nilsson and Glencross)...
08 salaries:
Jussi Jokinen - 1.875 mill (cap hit of 1.812 mill)
Michael Quellet - 1.300 mill (cap hit of 1.250 mill)
Jason Ward - 0.700 mill (cap hit of 0.675 mill)

| No doubt about the Oilers interest.Last season they were dynamite in shootouts and Jokinen excels in that area.

If anything Tampa Bay is worse off. Kuba and Picard's combined 08/09 salaries are 3.8 mill - Meszaros is RFA and asking for 5 mill. If they sign Meszaros to a long term deal that is heavily back-loaded, for instance:
08/09 - 2 mill
09/10 - 4 mill
10/11 - 5 mill
11/12 - 7 mill
^^^ something along those lines, the cap hit would still average-out those salaries. So Meszaros' salary would be 2 mill for this season but salary cap hit would be the average salary per season (4 mill lets say).
They also gave up next year's 1st rounder, ouch.

| Sources add that Meszaros is expected to sign a six-year contract with the Lightning averaging $4 million a season. |

| The new owners remind me of fantasy players run amok. I'm sure they are going to make Brian Lawton's life a living hell. You better believe that NHL VP Daly is going to having a chat with them regarding their business model. Hell I'm shocked Brian Burke hasn't found a microphone to decry how wasteful they Lightning are being.
